Hoseok slumped into a chair the moment he entered the living room.

"Are you okay?" You ask him, having already put your book down when you heard him enter the house.

"Mmm," He grunts in reply, eyes half closed, "just tired."

"Was your practice difficult?" You ask, standing up and walking over to him. You touched his shoulders gingerly. They were really tense. Lately the guys had been practicing some difficult choreography for their upcoming new songs and Hoseok came home tired every day.

"Yeah, there's this one part that's really hard and the choreographer makes us do over and over again. She never thinks we do it right, even though we practice like crazy."

"Poor baby." You cooed, gently massaging his shoulders and neck. Hoseok moaned his approval, moving slightly to give you better access to his stiff muscles.

After working out the worst knots you stopped and said: "How about you go take a hot bath? You can use my bath oils, they'll help you relax better. I'll cook dinner while you do."

Hoseok stood up and hugged you, pecking your cheek. "Thanks, jagiya. You're the best."

While Hoseok was taking his bath you searched the internet for a good recipe for his favourite meal and were happy to find you had all of the ingredients. You quickly got to work, you'd only made it once before and you wanted to be done before he came out of the bathroom.

"Something smells good." Hoseok commented once he walked into the kitchen half an hour later. "______, is that...?"

"Yup." You told him, proudly showing him the almost finished meal. It was coming out good, much better than last time. You weren't that great of a cook so when you managed to make things good you always felt extra happy. "Now sit down, it's almost ready."

You brought the food to the table and grinned as Hoseok wolfed it down.

"This is really good! Heck, I think it's as good as my mom's. ______, you're amazing!" His words and affectionate stare made you blush. He'd often told you his mom's cooking was his favourite.

After you finished eating you were about to start doing the dishes but Hoseok pulled you towards the couch. "Do them tomorrow." He pulled you into your favourite corner of the couch where the two of you snuggled together and watched some comedy film on TV. You his hair while he played with the fingers on your other hand.

When the film was over Hoseok pulled you in for a soft kiss and told you with a sleepy smile: "Thanks for tonight, jagi. I really needed that."

You kissed him back. "Any time."
